Happy Thanksgiving!

    Here's hoping all Basenji families have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! :D I am thankful today for my friends and family; my son who is truly a gift from God, my wild little Basenji Bella who is trying to teach me patience, and the love of my life… my husband. We have a roof over our heads and food on the table, plenty of warm clothing, and basically everything we need and more. I hope it is the same for all of you on this holiday... my prayers go out to those in need or not in good health. I also feel for those in the military who will not be able to spend the holiday with their family. Please keep them in your hearts and mind as you give thanks...

    Beautiful sentiments, Bellabasenji!

    I am thankful for relatively good health for my family, both 2 & 4 footers. For good friends, especially our wonderful dog park buddies, and our many cyber-buddies as well.

    Hope everyone has much to be thankful for, all year long!

    I give mine the neck bones, one joint at a a time, after they are boiled and soft. Also giblets, and white breast meat too!

    Bad news… my husband had a fainting episode last week at work and the ER said (after a few tests) could have been from cluster headaches. We thought maybe an isolated occurrence? Well, then yesterday evening he passes out at my family's house while trying to get his plate!!! Now he has been admitted to the hospital for further testing... He is dizzy and still having head pain. Please keep him in your thoughts, we are worried and Bella is very attached to him (do you think she misses him?).:(

    Thank you, we are back from hospital. All tests came back negative and they say it could be cervical vertigo… Muscle relaxers and rest is prescribed with a check back if all is not well in ten days. We are glad he is home, Bella is doing her happy dance!!!

    Thanks, Dan, we have had rain all weekend. But it is keeping it cooler, we had record highs in May and June. Hope you and Buddy had a good 4th as well.

    @BART: I've been living on my own for over 20 years but I still go to my parents for Thanksgiving. I'm thankful that they are both still alive and live only about 3 miles down road. Mom still makes her stuffing based on a recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook circa 1954. The pages are very yellow and some of them fall out if you aren't careful opening the book but I've never had stuffing quite as good. :) Will be going there shortly. :D My mom has a Betty Crocker cookbook from ages ago! She just mentioned to me that she's got tons of cookbook but that's the only one that she ever uses! We JUST prepared the turkey and stuffing recipes from that book! Love it! Edited to add: I just went down to check the date on the cookbook - 1971! :)

    Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful for many things, including our two wonderful basenjis, and this forum. We would never have made it through the process of adopting our two rescues in just over a year without the support of Sharron Hurlbut (sp?) and other experienced folks on this board. Today, Fiji and Bongo are happy, well adjusted dogs and they add to our lives tremendously. Thanks to all of you for your unending support of the breed and one another. Hope you've all had a wonderful day.

    I grew up in Indiana where they get lots of snow but here in Alabama people don't know how to drive in it. We're in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and it's very hilly. Everything stops when it snows, schools close, etc. All they have to do is mention the S word in the forecast and in two hours you can't find a loaf of bread or gallon of milk anywhere. In March 1993 we actually did have the Blizzard of the Century and we got 21 inches of snow and ice. I got snowed in at work (I'm a nurse and work in a hospital) for 5 days. My son was 15 then and he was home by himself because I couldn't get there. He got bored and tried walking down the hill and the National Guard picked him up and took him back home!
